It sat in furiated populace to lynch the alleged author of the outrage. Cooler heads averted this breach of law and the citi- zens were growing calmer, when the ex- | his money, $256; rushed in after them and seized Young. They both had a rough and tumble fight on the floor. When they arose Cochrane, assisted by the arrested man, caught hold of the officer and threw him bodily from the room. They were then permitted to consult with one another unmolested. Constable Lewis Hughes arrived on the 11:10 o'clock train from San Rafael and took the two prisoners to the county seat. A long conference was held in the Dis- trict Attorney’s office at the conclusion of which Butler was released, but Young was Euarded by Hughes while Martinelll and his regular corps of satellites re- turned to Tiburon to search for evidence. Returning Hughes swore to a complaint charging Young with arson. He was tak- en before Justice Rodden and his bail was fixed at $2000. It was furnished by Attorney M. F. Cochrane and John Pol- thenius, a butcher doing business at 1761 Stockton street. Young was permitted to go free, but on_ the advice of Cochrane stayed in San Rafael and sent for his wife and child. The citizens freely assert that he will be mobbed if he sets foot in the town. Under the advice of his attorney the prisoner refuses to speak about the af- fair. The lawyer says his client tells him he is ignorant as to who did the deed. Young Butler simply says it was ‘“raw work.” He closed up the store and left it at 8 o'clock, an hour earlier than usual, being accompanied by the proprietor. Saloon-keeper Hansen says Young came into his place an hour before the fire was discovered and played cards until the alarm was given. The officials believe there was an accomplice. Thomas Mitchell, the partner, who ran the So- noma House for Young, and was his partner in the grocery and saloon busi- ness, went to Fresno last Tuesday to file certain attachments, and is daily expected to return. There are several things that look bad for Young. The store was closed earlier than usual; he was preparing to leave town, and had a deal on hand to sell out to B. 1. Landon of San Rafael. It went through to-day. The hotel fixtures were insured for $i700, and yet they brought hardly more than one-third that amount at the sale. The fixtures and stock of the storq and saloon were insured for $1000. Yoting is a Swede, and came from South He is re- 000.

Rood, saloon- keeper on Valencia street, charged with | grand larceny, was called in Judge Mo- | gan's court yesterday the Judge refused to transfer the case, as he denied having any blas or prejudice against the defend- ants. The preliminary examination of the de- fendants was then commenced. Cornelius Cronin, the complaining witness, testifled | to being taken by Blackman to Rood's sa- loon, where he was compelled to glve up to being afterward taken | citement again rose to fever pitch by a desperate effort on the part of Mrs. Young to end her life in the waters of the bay. All that night and until the arrival of the authorities from San Rafael at an early hour yesterday morning it was found necessary to keep Young and a clerk named ward Butler under armed espionage in order to preserve their lives. Several minor happenings added to the furor, one being a clashing of Attorney James W. Cochrane and Deputy Consta- ble Fletcher, which ended in the muscular limb of the law throwing the officer bodily out of & room and locking the door io prevent his return. About 10 o’clock Tuesday evening Fred Hackett, the proprietor of the El Dorado saloon, heard the sound of an explosion in the store of Young Mitchell, known as the “Dally Supply.' He listened in- tently, and, hearing another explosion, ran round into the narrow alley between the buildings and perceived that the rear of the “Dally Supply” was in flames. His cries _elicited no response from within, and he dashed out into the street, yelling “fire.”” A large crowd rushed to the scene. Jerry O’Connell, Engineer Joseph ‘Wasser and Expressman William Lewis alded Hackett in breaking in both the rear and front doors of the building with heavy billets of wood. Both doors had been locked and barricaded with boxes the center of the floor, away from the kindling wood, In order not to explode until the flamés had gained considerable headway. All the blazes were soon extinguished, but not until two cans of gasoline had ex- loded and set the walls on fire. The buildings in the vicinity are closely packed, and the whole town would have heen at the mercy of the flames if the fire had been discovered two minutes later. Shortly after the fire alarm had been given Young rushed out of the saloon of N. R. Hansen, a few doors distant, and into the side .oor of the burning struc- He soon reappeared, carrying his boy, and closely followed by his They repaired to the Sonoma , of which Young was proprietor Jesterday. A hu\\'llng mob cries of ‘Lynch him!” “Don’t let him get away!” rang out. Deputy Constable Fletcher arrested Young, and the crowd tried to take the prisonér away from the officer, but many of the cooler heads begged the infuriated and unruly element to wait and not do anything that would lead to the shedding of blood. Several ran for a rope, but when they returned Fletcher had his charge in the upper story of tne wrecked building where he had llved with his wife and child. George Pearas and Patrick Wright were armed and placed on guard, closely watching the prisoner to prevent his committing suicide. His little boy was taken away and placed in the care of Mrs. Wasser and Mrs. Barnum. While the crowd was still surging about and murmuring sullenly there came a suc- cession of plercing screams from the di- rection of lge wharves. John and Michael Clancey and Engineer James Donohoe were l{le first to reach the' spot. Mrs. Young had jumped into the bay on hear- ing of the arrest of her husband, but when Fireman Clancey lowered a long- handled fire-scraper she repented of the deed and took hold of the end. Boatman Charles Trulson jumped into a skiff and soon rescued the woman from the water. She then lost consciousness and was taken to the Sonoma House and placed under the care of several ladies, but did not re- gain her senses for nearly two hours. Her first thought was for her child, which was brought to her. Few of the citizens went to bed during the night and yesterday morning the talk of lynching was renewed. Deputy Fletch- er wanted Captain Charles McNeill to take the prisoner to Sausalito, as well as the clerk, Edward Butler, who had been arrested and forced to pass the nlwt in the calaboose. Attorney James o Cochrane arrived at this juncture and de- murred to such a proceeding. He wished to speak with Young and was told he could not. Cochrane retorted that Youn, had only been arrested on suspicion an not on_a warrant and that he would see ADVERTISEMENTS. soon gathered, and !

The old man's cross-examination lasted for over two hours, but his evidence was not shaken in dny of the material facts. John Halin, a saloon-keeper at %3 Kear- ny street, who lives on San Carlos ave- nue, testified to being in Rood’s saloon when he saw Cronin hand over his money and heard them say that the amount was $2355. In cross-examination Halin said he had a few drinks that night, and being pressed admitted that he had taken twen- ty drinks, but added that he was even then only half full. His cross-examina- tion was not concluded when the court adjourned. The hearing will be resumed this afternoon. Lurline Salt Water Baths, Bush and Larkin sts.

On ordnance account tHe Federal Govern- ment was credited with $60,000. The Gov- ernment made a cash payment by check on the United States Treasury for the sum of $83,311 05. The check was brought here from Washington by Adjutant-Gen- eral Barrett. A claim for $18,000 still re- mains to be adjusted. ernor of California the sum of $40,000 will be disbursed to-day. The accounts to the Governor, quartermaster, commissary and medical supplies furnished and bills for charges for the transportation of troops. The question was submitted to Attorney General Fitzgerald whether the United States check for $83,311 05 should be paid into the treasury of the State and payment made therefrom to the par- or should the Governor disburse the money to pay bills contracted and submit the receipts as his vouchers. The Allorne{ supplies purchased by _the for the use of the United States should be paid for directly from the allowance mm;:z by the Federal Government. After the disbursement of $40,000 to pay for ma- terials and subsistence ordered directly by the Governor there will remain $43,000, which Governor Budd. will to-day pa into the State treasury. This sum of $43, 000 will relmburse the State for materials the State of California, and which were furnished to the troops called into the service of the United States. California’s claim was the first allowed by the United States. The early and fa- vorable action thereon was due to the fact that vouchers were correctly sub- mitted and straight accounts rendered of all flnancial transactions on which claims against the United States were based. In the settlement California is reimbursed for all moneys paid out and supplies furnished for the General Gov- ernment. HIGHFLOWN THOUGHTS TRUSTEE BRICK AT OUTS WITH HIS COLLEAGUES. monial Because of Its Errors. ALAMEDA, Dec. 21.—The City Clerk of Alameda bhas refused to record on his minutes a document presented at a board meeting by City Trustee Brick because it is not constructed according to the rules of the English language. Trustee Brick has refused to revise the docu- ment, and the records of the city fathers stand incomplete. Since Mr. Brick became a member of the municipal board he has made for him- self a reputation as a man who delighted to differ from his colleagues, and one who was generally hunting trouble in his official position. In this case trouble has been thrust upon him. He had received a letter from the City Clerk refusing to spread on the minutes of the City Trus- tees his testimonial to Marshal Rogers, for the reason that the document of scarcely more than one hundred words strayed away from the rules of the Eng- lish language in nearly thirty instances. Following is a verbatim copy of the document: To the Honorable Board of Trustees of the City of Alameda Gentlemen: We the undersigned Members of the Police Committee wish to Express our Appreciation of the Valuable Services of our Tetiring Marshall Oscar Rogers to Whose Cour- tesy and Executive ability In the discharge of his duties has Won him the confidence of the General Public as seen by his Election to the High Office of Sheriff of this County our relations with him has been Satisfactory & pleasant. and without friction of any kind. the Collection of thousands of Dollors Annu- aly by this office without any loss to the City Speaks Well of his administration. an Envia- ble_record With the best Wishes and Success in his new Career We_remain your Well Wishers « John G.

Mr. Taylor told him that he had no authority to change a letter or a punctu- ation mark in any document filed with | him for the purpose of being spread on the city’s records to go d in history. The Clerk thereupon addressed a com- | munication to Mr. Brick advising him of | the condition of affai and requesting | him to make the necessary corrections in the document before it would be spread on the minutes. Mr. Brick has treated the letter with silent contempt, and the testimonial to Sheriff-elect Rogers has | not yet been entered on the public records | of the city. At the last meeting of the City Trustees Mr. Brick assafled the newspapers for publishing the proceedings of a secret meeting of the board, when he claimed | the exclusive privilege of naming the suc- | cessor of City Marshal Rogers, who re- | signed to assume the duties of Sheriff. In' the course of his remarks Mr. Brick said: “Of course the reports were garbled and made up of a tissue of lies, but I as- sure you I would not have said & word of it if I had thought it was going to be printed.” BAY CITY MARKET.
